After all the preparations and the on-the-day celebration comes the after party, which feels like a hangover. With my social battery already drained, all I want to do is let the final guest leave and scurry back to my comfy bed—back to the mundane. My body just wants to sleep through the day, rest, and recover.
Right now, my body is still searching for the rhythm to return to work, while my mind refuses to leave the wreckage of dishes and messy floors.
